    New to windows phone, loving it already

    Great story! I also like these posts in general and think it's fun that we're a small enough community still that it's totally legit for us to make posts like hey I just got this phone and it rocks. Kinda feels like this in a good way:

    OFFICIAL "Bring Yahoo Fantasy Sports to WP8" Thread

    I used StatGnome for Yahoo Fantasy Football last season. It worked pretty well. StatGnome - Football | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

    How do I set up an outlook.com alias as a POP3 account on windows phone?

    I might be wrong, but I think this is what you want: How To: Use your Outlook.com Alias On WP8 (if you have a gmail.com Live ID) — MobilityDigest I used their instructions to set up an alias in Outlook as my "from" address for Outlook mail from my Windows Phone. It works fine.

    Official Itsdagram - Issues, suggestion or finally we have Instagram 100% thread!

    Word, that bums me out. I thought the previous look with the user's avatar in the upper left corner and the name at the top was cool. I'd love to see a return to that while keeping the ability to like/comment from the timeline!

    Official Itsdagram - Issues, suggestion or finally we have Instagram 100% thread!

    Hmm, I got all excited when you said there's a new update in the store, but it didn't fix any of the things I mentioned (trouble finding my friends, blank "follower" and "following" pages, black comment backgrounds), and I like the new timeline less than the one before... =/ It's still a...

    Official Itsdagram - Issues, suggestion or finally we have Instagram 100% thread!

    Biggest glitches for me so far: (1) "Find friends" doesn't seem to be working. It just says it's "finding" for a long time but nothing happens. (2) As noted above, "following" and "followers" pages are empty when I look at other people's accounts (3) Sometimes the background on a photo's...

    MLB At Bat for WP 8

    Hopefully this link will work: http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ml-help01&tid=19545 FWIW, the "MLBForumAdmin" said "We have submitted your feedback to our mobile team," but until the thread is closed or deleted I feel like more folks might as well pile on, eh?

    Any decent news apps with a good live tile?

    Agreed. I wonder if WP8 will get any of those Bing News/Sports/etc. apps from Windows 8 as the platforms get closer together with Windows/WP 8.1 and subsequent updates. That would be pretty sweet imho.

    ESPN Scorecenter app not updating.

    That's really interesting - thanks a lot for this info. Sadly I really just want the live tile for baseball, so I guess I'll keep using other apps for that. Like you say, ESPN ScoreCenter is a nice app otherwise - I find myself using it fairly often. It's too bad the live tile isn't good for...

    ESPN Scorecenter app not updating.

    OK so I just uninstalled, reinstalled, and plugged in my favorite team. The live tile then showed a score from six days ago, as if the game were still in progress (top of the 8th inning). Do you think that some sports work better than others? This is wack. I'll happily continue to use...

    ESPN Scorecenter app not updating.

    The live tile has never worked properly for me (just like you're describing. It might show a score at the beginning of a game, but it doesn't update, and it will STILL show the same score days later). I'd like to hear if it works for anyone...

    [App Amazing Weather] Suggest features to be added :)

    Love this app, and I'm excited to hear that there will be a refresh of the live tile images this week. My one quick/tiny suggestion is that when the forecast calls for "Chance of Thunderstorm," it's too much text on the medium-size tile and it looks all crazy. Is there a way to change it to...

    Nokia Maps is a giant step backwards

    Just search for "Maps" (by Mohammed Adenwala") in the Store. It's a shortcut that opens Bing Maps.

    (Official) What WP needs to succeed

    Re: (Official) Why I don't like WP8 Part 2 (What WP needs to succeed) I want a lot of the same things other people have mentioned: -Notification center of some kind -Faster access to WiFi/bluetooth/data/airplane mode/etc. settings (like swiping left from the home screen for notifications and...

    Introducing Skinery Tiles (the FIRST custom tile that launches third party apps!)

    This is really neat. What would make this even better imho is if you had skins that included a bunch of the WP theme colors. That way I could make my WP start screen look more like the Windows 8 start screen. I always thought it looked cool in W8 to have a bunch of colors and was surprised that...

    shortcut to switch off cellular data

    I use Quick Settings to do the same thing.. Likewise, it's not one touch, but it's quick enough for me I guess. It'd be great if there are one-touch toggles for settings in a forthcoming WP update.

    Screen won't turn on

    This has happened to me about 3 times with my Lumia 920 (owned it since late November). I did the same thing as you - turned the phone off as though the screen were working and turned it back on again. I'd definitely like to know why this happens.

    Jumping to Windows 8 from Apple

    I got a Lumia 920 in late November after using an iPhone 4 for two years, and I love this phone. I haven't been remotely tempted to go back to iOS, which had started to feel boring and stagnant to me. I hope you'll love your new phone too. In terms of the battery, it's been kinda disappointing...

    Finally got a Windows 8 laptop...

    The main connection between Windows 8 and WP8 that I use ALL the time is OneNote. It's great.
